Prostatic sonography is now routinely performed. Transrectal scanning provides the best imaging quality. Two different types of probes are available: radial probes for transverse scans and linear array probes for longitudinal scans. A comparative study of both types of probes has been performed in 98 patients. Complementary roles of radial and linear probes are demonstrated and the consecutive use of both probes is recommended for a complete sonographic study of prostate and surrounding structures.
目前前列腺超声检查已成为常规操作。经直肠扫描能提供最佳的成像质量。有两种不同类型的探头可供使用：用于横向扫描的径向探头和用于纵向扫描的线性阵列探头。对98例患者进行了这两种探头的对比研究。结果表明径向探头和线性探头具有互补作用，建议连续使用这两种探头，以便对前列腺及周围结构进行完整的超声检查。
